Saraya probably won’t show up at WWE Evolution, but Paige is open to the idea.
The former WWE and AEW Women’s Champion hasn’t wrestled since October 2024. She recently left AEW, and fans continue to speculate that she will somehow end up back in WWE. Saraya spoke with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast and said that she’s completely free to work anywhere she wants, confirming that there weren’t any restrictions or non-compete clauses in her split from AEW.
“Paige, 100%. I miss Paige so much. I tell people all the time. So again, when I went to AEW, I didn’t want to be close to my character in WWE because of the comparisons. I was like, Okay. And then I ended up being like a chicken sh*t heel with AEW, which is all fun and good, but there’s a ceiling to that. Whereas Paige, I mean, she’s generational. I love her. She’s bad ass, tough as nails, just screaming all the time. I loved being her. She was a f*cking badass, and that felt more like an elevated version of myself, rather than doing what I was doing in AEW. But again, that was my decision to be like that. But then I was like, Damn I wish I leaned more into my original character, but it is what it is. You live, you learn.”
Would Saraya like to appear at WWE Evolution?
Van Vliet joked about Saraya’s contractual freedom allowing her to possibly appear at WWE Evolution, which takes place on July 13. Saraya said she’s open to it, noting that her neck injury prevented her from competing at the first event in 2018.
“[I would do it]. You know, it’s like a bittersweet thing, because the first one, I couldn’t be on it because of my neck,” Saraya said. “So if I had the opportunity to be on this all-female pay-per-view, of course, yeah, I would think about it.”
Saraya also said she’d love to appear in the Women’s Royal Rumble. She pointed out that she also couldn’t appear in a previous Women’s Rumble match due to her neck issues.
